I couldn\u2019t really tell what the question was, but let\u2019s say sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnything where I have to show any skin. Or pretending to have sex with someone,\u201d the 51-year-old quickly responded. \u201cI don\u2019t like it\u2014I don\u2019t like it. I feel like I\u2019m being unfaithful and it just feels a bit [groans].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Colman has been married to <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/who-is-ed-sinclair-olivia-colman-husband-8416146\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">writer and producer <strong>Ed Sinclair<\/strong><\/a> since 2001, and the couple share three children.

But oh, and the onscreen orgasm \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNope, absolutely not,\u201d Colman shot back. \u201cThank god for intimacy coordinators.\u201d She recalled British movement director <strong>Ita O\u2019Brien<\/strong> once giving her advice on how to fake an orgasm for cameras.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[She] said, \u2018Imagine the sun is hitting your face.\u2019 That was great!\u201d Colman quipped, as both women broke out into laughter.<\/p>\n<p>Colman also opened up about what it was like working with Cumberbatch for the first time, particularly considering that their two characters were at bitter odds with one another throughout the film.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI loved working with him, he\u2019s sort of one of life\u2019s innocents, in a way,\u201d Colman quipped. \u201cBecause we had so much fun, but when it started to get a little bit more cruel to each other, he did go, \u2018Can we pause for a minute?
